Definitions

  • the invention relates in general to a vehicle wheel, and more particularly to a non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly an its method of manufacturing.
  • the pneumatic tire has been the solution of choice for vehicular mobility for over a century.
  • the pneumatic tire is a tensile structure.
  • the pneumatic tire has at least four characteristics that make the pneumatic tire so dominate today.
  • Pneumatic tires are efficient at carrying loads, because all of the tire structure is involved in carrying the load.
  • Pneumatic tires are also desirable because they have low contact pressure, resulting in lower wear on roads due to the distribution of the load of the vehicle.
  • Pneumatic tires also have low stiffness, which ensures a comfortable ride in a vehicle.
  • the primary drawback to a pneumatic tire is that it requires compressed fluid.
  • a conventional pneumatic tire is rendered useless after a complete loss of inflation pressure.
  • a tire designed to operate without inflation pressure may eliminate many of the problems and compromises associated with a pneumatic tire. Neither pressure maintenance nor pressure monitoring is required. Structurally supported tires such as solid tires or other elastomeric structures to date have not provided the levels of performance required from a conventional pneumatic tire. A structurally supported tire solution that delivers pneumatic tire-like performance would be a desirous improvement.
  • Non-pneumatic tires are typically defined by their load carrying efficiency.
  • Bottom loaders are essentially rigid structures that carry a majority of the load in the portion of the structure below the hub.
  • Top loaders are designed so that all of the structure is involved in carrying the load. Top loaders thus have a higher load carrying efficiency than bottom loaders, allowing a design that has less mass.
  • an improved non-pneumatic tire that has all the features of the pneumatic tires without the drawback of the need for air inflation is desired. It is also desired to have an improved non-pneumatic tire that has longer tread life as compared to a pneumatic tire of the same size.
  • WO 03/018332 A1 describes a non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly in accordance with claim 1 and to a method in accordance with claim 10.
  • the invention provides in a first preferred aspect a non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly comprising: a wheel, a spoke ring structure having an inner ring that is mounted on an outer rim mounting surface of the wheel, wherein the spoke ring structure has a plurality of spoke members, and an outer tread ring mounted on the outer circumference of the spoke ring, wherein the wheel is axially recessed within the non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly.
  • the invention provides in a second preferred aspect a non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly comprising: a wheel, a spoke ring structure having an inner ring that is mounted on an outer rim mounting surface of the wheel, wherein the spoke ring structure has a plurality of spoke members, and an outer tread ring mounted on the outer circumference of the spoke ring, wherein at least one of the spoke members has an axially outer edge, wherein the axially outer edge is radiused.
  • Axial and “axially” means the lines or directions that are parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire.
  • “Circumferential” means lines or directions extending along the pewheeleter of the surface of the annular tread perpendicular to the axial direction; it can also refer to the direction of the sets of adjacent circular curves whose radii define the axial curvature of the tread as viewed in cross section.
  • Ring and radially mean directions radially toward or away from the axis of rotation of the tire.
  • the non-pneumatic tire and wheel assembly 10 includes an outer annular tread ring 30, a spoke ring structure 20, and a wheel 50.
  • the outer annular tread ring 30 is preferably a one-piece annular structure that is formed of a polymer, rubber or other desired elastomer.
  • the tread ring 30 may be molded and cured as a one-piece ring and is mounted on the outer periphery of the spoke ring structure 20.
  • the outer tread surface of the tread ring 30 may include tread elements such as ribs, blocks, lugs, grooves, and sipes as desired in order to improve the performance of the tire in various conditions.
  • a shear band 31 is provided, which is an annular structure that is located radially inward of the tread ring 30 between tread ring 30 and spoke ring structure 20 and functions to transfer the load from the bottom of the tire which is in contact with the ground to the spokes and to the hub, creating a top loading structure.
  • the annular structure is called a shear band 31 because the preferred form of deformation is shear over bending.
  • the shear band 31 preferably includes a first, second and third reinforcement layer 32, 33, 36.
  • Each reinforcement layer 32, 33, 36 is preferably formed of a plurality of closely spaced parallel reinforcement cords.
  • the parallel reinforcement cords may be formed from a calendared fabric so that the reinforcement cords are embedded in an elastomeric coating.
  • each reinforcement layer 32, 33, 36 is formed from spirally winding a single end cord.
  • the single end cord has multiple filaments.
  • the first and second reinforcement layers 32, 33 are preferably the radially innermost reinforcement layers of the shear band 31, and the second reinforcement layer 33 is located radially outward of the first reinforcement layer 32.
  • the third reinforcement layer 36 is located radially outward of the second reinforcement layer 33.
  • the preferably inextensible reinforcement cords of each layer 32, 33, 36 are preferably angled in the range of five degrees or less with respect to the tire equatorial plane.

  • the first and second shear layer 35, 37 is preferably formed of an elastomer or rubber having a shear modulus in the range of 3 MPa to 30 MPa, or more preferably in the range of 10 MPa to 20 MPa.
  • the shear modulus is defined using a pure shear deformation test, recording the stress and strain, and determining the slope of the resulting stress-strain curve.
  • the shear band 31 preferably further includes a first angled belt 38 and a second angled belt 39.
  • the first angled belt 38 is located radially outward of the second shear layer 37, and the second angled belt 39 is located radially outward of the first angled belt 38.
  • the first and second angled belts 38, 39 preferably each have parallel reinforcement cords that are embedded in an elastomeric coating.
  • the parallel reinforcement cords are preferably angled in the range of 15 to 30 degrees with respect to the tire equatorial plane.
  • the angle of the parallel reinforcement cords is in the range of from 20 to 25 degrees.
  • the angle of the reinforcement cords of the first angled belt 38 is in the opposite direction of the angle of the reinforcement cords in the second angled belt 39. It is additionally preferred that the reinforcement cords are inextensible.
  • the shear band 31 has an overall shear stiffness GA.
  • the shear stiffness GA may be determined by measuring the deflection on a representative test specimen taken from the shear band 31. The upper surface of the test specimen is subjected to a lateral shear force F. The test specimen is a representative sample taken from the shear band and having the same radial thickness as the shearband.
  • the shear band 31 has an overall bending stiffness El.

  • the spoke ring 22 is the outboard spoke ring that faces axially outward when mounted on a vehicle.
  • the spoke ring 22 has a plurality of preferably X shaped spokes formed from a first spoke member 60 that is joined to a second spoke member 62.
  • the first and second spoke member 60, 62 are joined together at a junction 70 to form a preferably X-shaped spoke.
  • the first and second spoke members 60, 62 may be straight or curved.
